“The moment you change your perception is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body.” – Dr. Bruce Lipton Check Out These Highlights: I remember the first time I received an email about the law of attraction; I was hooked. I felt like I had uncovered another world that had been hidden from me. Now, 23 years later, I know that our minds are truly powerful and that we have complete control of what we create in our lives. Our minds do create our reality. At that time, I had two small children and was two years into building my business. I had one speed, fast, back then, and my body and mind couldn't keep up with the demand I had placed on myself. So, receiving the email and many more that followed, I realized I had to take control of my mind, body, and spirit. What are your mind and body telling you? Are you listening or ignoring so you can get your to-do list done at all costs? About Suzanne Boudreau: Suzanne is the founder of GuidedSerenity.com.

Spirituality and success are not mutually exclusive endeavors. You don't have to give up all your possessions and move to a cave in India to meditate in solitude in order to find happiness. Steve Jobs showed us that you can be spiritual and successful. He showed us how spirituality can actually lead to greater success. And he shared how spirituality actually led to him being able to enjoy instead of losing himself in the insatiable desire for more.In this podcast, I share the 3 most important lessons Steve Jobs taught us about spiritual success. I discuss how we can all implement the lessons he learned for manifesting our dreams. And I talk about how to use spirituality for greater clarity, to handle stress better, and for tapping into our highest wisdom and creativity.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Enlightenment is a shift in self-perception, from body-identification to spirit-identification. Body identification is a small and limited sense of self. Seeing our essential Self as Spirit, however, we see the body is a priceless garment we wear. It is laid aside when our earthly lessons have been learned, in no way affecting the eternal nature of life itself. This is a public episode.

The Secular Enlightenment by Professor Margaret C. Jacob, has been called a major new history on how the Enlightenment transformed people's everyday lives. It's a panoramic account of the radical ways that life began to change for ordinary people in the age of Locke, Voltaire, and Rousseau. In this landmark book, familiar Enlightenment figures share places with voices that have remained largely unheard until now, from freethinkers and freemasons to French materialists, anticlerical Catholics, pantheists, pornographers, readers, and travelers. Jacob, one of our most esteemed historians of the Enlightenment, reveals how this newly secular outlook was not a wholesale rejection of Christianity but rather a new mental space in which to encounter the world on its own terms. She takes readers from London and Amsterdam to Berlin, Vienna, Paris, and Naples, drawing on rare archival materials to show how ideas central to the emergence of secular democracy touched all facets of daily life. Human frailties once attributed to sin were now viewed through the lens of the newly conceived social sciences. People entered churches not to pray but to admire the architecture, and some began to spend their Sunday mornings reading a newspaper or even a risqué book. The secular-minded pursued their own temporal and commercial well-being without concern for the life hereafter, regarding their successes as the rewards for their actions and their failures as the result of blind economic forces. A wonderful work of intellectual and cultural history, The Secular Enlightenment demonstrates how secular values and pursuits took hold of eighteenth-century Europe, spilled into the American colonies, and left their lasting imprint on the Western world for generations to come. Margaret Jacob is Distinguished Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her many books include The Radical Enlightenment: Pantheists, Freemasons, and Republicans and The First Knowledge Economy: Human Capital and the European Economy, 1750-1850.

If you've ever felt like you can't keep doing it the same way—or longed for the courage to meet life as it is—this episode is a breath of truth. A reminder that within you, there is an unstoppable force of love, grace, and presence… and it's more than enough.   In this heart-opening episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit with my dear friend Sage Robbins—world-renowned speaker, mentor, philanthropist, and heart-centered guide—for a deeply personal and soul-stirring conversation on what it means to live fully, love deeply, and embrace the beautiful mess of being human. Sage embodies the intersection of grace and power and brings a rare blend of humility, authenticity, and humor from a life committed to personal growth and spiritual alignment.   Together, we explore the secret to lasting love, the fact that all relationships are mirrors, and the sacred responsibility of parenting with vulnerability. Sage opens up about learning to welcome pain as a teacher, practicing forgiveness through rituals like Ho'oponopono, and discovering that even fear has its place in a spiritually aligned life. She reminds us that we are not broken—we are becoming. And that the deeper we lean into our humanness, the closer we get to wholeness.   Join Sage Robbins at the She's Unstoppable Summit — a powerful three-day virtual experience happening August 20–22.

I can't help but call Glenn "Dean Hubbard" since I met him as a student at Columbia Business School. That was 2005, making him one of the guests I've known the longest.I invited him to the podcast after seeing a talk he gave on the 300th birthday of Adam Smith. My recent learning more about Smith and other Enlightenment thinkers led me to find relevance between their thinking about how to live together without hurting each other and how we handle polluting and depleting today. I knew Glenn studied Smith for longer and in more depth than I have so I invited him to share about Smith.We started with his background, having worked with the White House. He then shared about Smith, in particular not seeing just his economics in Wealth of Nations, also his philosophy in Theory of Moral Sentiments.I shared some of the views I've been developing, though not comprehensively. He responded, politely and informatively, considering my inexperience expressing my ideas. He pushed back and educated.I couldn't help also sharing how much I'd learned at business school that was relevant to sustainability and I found little elsewhere, especially the social and emotional skills of leadership. I couldn't help building up my alma mater and the value of leadership in the task of changing culture.Glenn's home page at Columbia Business School Hosted on Acast.

Dr. David Kittay stands out as one of the most expansive, intelligent, creative, and warmhearted thinkers of our time. His course at Columbia University, Technology, Religion, Future, is often described as “life-changing” for its exploration of how technology intersects with humanity's deepest questions. In an earlier conversation with Scott, before the AI boom, he offered insights that felt ahead of their time—making his return now all the more vital as we face a profound question: Can artificial intelligence lead to enlightenment, or are we speeding toward a super-intelligent future that may no longer include us?This conversation reaches into that vast horizon while also returning to earth, highlighting how billions suffering today might find happiness through far simpler, more accessible means than the high-powered machines now simulating our homework, love letters, and friendships.Episode 201: AI and Enlightenment with Dr. David KittayFrom August 28 to 31, Scott Snibbe is leading an in-person meditation retreat at Vajrapani Institute. We'll explore antidotes to anxiety, fear, and loneliness—and cultivate the deeper causes of a happy mind; connected, loving relationships; and a better world. It all happens in the beautiful redwood forests of California, while enjoying delicious vegetarian meals and meeting thoughtful new friends.SIGN UP NOWSupport the show

Covering the pivotal period from the mid-seventeenth century through the era of the French Revolution, Christy Pichichero's The Military Enlightenment: War and Culture in the French Empire from Louis XIV to Napoleon (Cornell University Press, 2018; paperback ed. 2020) is a fascinating interdisciplinary study that pushes us to rethink our ideas about both the military and the Enlightenment in and beyond a France that was a global, as well as a continental European imperial power. As Pichichero shows, the (long) eighteenth century holds the key to our understanding historical concepts and transformations that we tend to associate with later developments in military thought and practice, from conventions around "good" and "humane" conflict to ideas about community and civility between soldiers fighting together and on opposing sides. The book's five chapters explore a broad range of compelling events and sources, from the work of well known Enlightenment thinkers and authors such as Voltaire and Choderlos de Laclos, to military manuals and debates regarding how wars would and should be waged, how soldiers should be trained to think and act in battle. Now available in a new paperback edition, the book is a must-read for anyone interested in the longue durée of military culture and warfare, as well as those with an interest in all that the Enlightenment did and could mean. Roxanne Panchasi is an Associate Professor of History at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada who specializes in twentieth and twenty-first century France and empire.She is the founding host of New Books in French Studies, a channel launched in 2013.

My guest today is the award-winning novelist Sarah Perry. Sarah is the internationally bestselling author of four novels, but the one you will almost definitely heard of (and may well have watched) is The Essex Serpent. Published in 2016, it sold over half a million copies, and won both British Book of the Year and Waterstones book of the year before being made into an apple tv+ series starring Clare Danes and Tom Hiddleston (Sarah was an extra!). Sarah has also been nominated for the booker prize, the women's prize for fiction and the costa novel award, amongst others. Born and brought up in Essex, Sarah is chancellor of Essex University, where her latest novel Enlightenment is set. Enlightenment - a novel about the presence and absence of faith draws more directly on her own life than usual - because Sarah, as you may or not know grew up in a closed religious community. I met Sarah at her publisher's office in South London to talk about being brought up in the equivalent of 1860, leaving the church, and coming out of the womb as a 45 year old novelist! We also discussed the success that led to incurable illness, the surprisingly difficult transition from a woman who doesn't have children to a woman who didn't have children, premature menopause and why she doesn't want to look like someone who hasn't seen death. Btw, I've made that sound really depressing - I promise it isn't! * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, including I'm Mostly Here To Enjoy Myself as well as the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls at Pineapple Production.

There comes a point where you look around and barely recognize the life you're living—it's like you're going through the motions in someone else's story. You stay in situations that drain you, not because you want to, but because it's familiar, even when it hurts. That quiet ache of “this isn't it” lingers in the background, and pretending everything's fine just adds to the weight. It's not about chasing perfection—it's just about finally feeling like you're allowed to be yourself without apology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3wN2bJwGJY Jill Nypower is a life coach, author, and single mom helping people overcome fear, scarcity, and self-doubt.

Her story highlights the shift from fear to love and the importance of living authentically. Her message: real change starts within. Stay tuned! Quotes: “The kingdom of heaven is within you. When you take time to slow down, ground yourself, meditate, and get into your heart, then you can quiet the mind.” “Instead of choosing fear, I choose love. Instead of choosing survival, I choose thriving.” “Create healthy boundaries. Don't let people come into your energy space and make you feel bad.” Resources: jillnypower@gmail.com Follow Jill Nypower on Instagram Subscribe to Jill Nypower on YouTube Jill Nypower Website Follow Jill Nypower on Facebook

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Europe didn't do a anything to take on Hamas after the October 7th attacks, instead they push Israel to surrender.  Europe is historically tied to evils like the Holocaust, Nazism, Stalinism, and Marxism, now conquered by radical Islamists through open borders. The Biden administration, Democrats, left-wing forces in media/academia, and isolationists undermined Israel, who could have ended the war sooner without interference. What's happening in Gaza is that people are going without food. Why? Israel isn't starving them. This is a last desperate move by Hamas to save itself by slaughtering its own people. Later, EPIC City, a proposed Muslim-focused community in Texas initiated by the East Plano Islamic Center, is still raising concerns about potential Sharia law governance and "no-go zones." It prompted investigations by Texas officials and the Justice Department, though the federal probe closed as the project remains in planning.  These developments should be opposed to preserve American values. There is an incompatibility of Marxism and fundamentalist Islamism with American values. America was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs fused with Enlightenment ideals like limited power, representative government, and individual sovereignty under God. Those like Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and AOC are hypocrites for living luxuriously while promoting Marxism, Islamism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism. They employ negative language as a tool for thought control, enforcing uniformity and ideological conformity rather than open debate.  In breaking news, a gunman armed with a rifle stormed a NYC Midtown skyscraper opening fire and killing at least five people, including one NYPD officer, while injuring several others. The suspect barricaded himself on the 33rd floor, where he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound amid other victims. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
